Saturday, May 31

A few weeks ago TFC’s Lancaster prayer breakfast group decided to hold a prayer breakfast at Landis Homes where Raymond (wheel chair) and his wife, Martha live.

Raymond is no longer able to get to the breakfast at Yoder’s due to being paralyzed from the mid-chest area and down, so we took the prayer breakfast to him.

Prayer before breakfast.

Getting breakfast. You may recognize Cerwin’s mother on the right. This is where she lives and often eats in this dining room.

Following breakfast Alvin (standing) ~ who was the person who suggested we do this ~ listens while Raymond shared a bit of his story and how he became paralyzed due to an illness two days before his retirement.

Alvin shared a short devotional.

When he finished, he asked Cerwin to give a ministry update.

It was decided to hold the Lancaster Prayer Breakfast at Landis Homes each May.

After praying for TFC’s May prayer requests, we gathered around Martha and Raymond and prayed for her eyesight and his paralysis. He said he lives with continual pain.

I noticed some pretty flowers in the courtyard outside the window and found the door that went to the garden.

When walking through the hallway with Mother, on the way to her room, we noticed a cardinal on a window ledge.

I am always fascinated by this world clock/map when we walk by it on the way to or from the dining room. It is interesting to see which part of the world is in daylight and which part is in darkness.

I noticed another courtyard of flowers and took a few pictures through the window.

Just before getting to Mother’s room we went by this window that looked beautiful in the morning sunlight.

Then on the way home we came upon a favorite scene of mine ~ Holsteins in a meadow filled with buttercups.

Buttercups and Holsteins take me back to my childhood.

It was a wonderful morning.
